Imoke inaugurates N400m Obudu Ranch project, others

Cross River State Governor Liyel Imoke has inaugurated a 33/11KV sub-station electricity project connecting the Obudu Ranch Resort to the national grid.

The Obudu Ranch Resort has been operating on a generating set since its inception in the 1970s.

The governor inaugurated the project during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship campaign rally in Obanliku Local Government Area.

He said the project would reduce the cost of running the ranch’s facilities on generator.

Imoke said the projec, which cost N400 million, would boost the economy of the resort and take it to the next level. “This modest effort will ensure that power to the facility will increase tremendously while services will improve to meet the needs of its customers. This is because currently, a huge sum is spent on diesel to operate its facilities, including the cable cars.”
